Doctor Who season five premiere New York City

Yesterday, courtesy of BBC America, New Yorker's got their first look at the new, strikingly youthful Doctor Who (Matt Smith) and his feisty new Scottish companion Amy Pond (Karen Gillan).

In a special screening in advance of Saturday's broadcast (on BBC America) hundreds of die-hard American Who fans were lucky enough to catch the Doctor's latest adventure before the rest of the nation.

'Doctor Who: The Eleventh Hour' broadcasts on BBC America on Saturday April 17 at 9pm Eastern.
